General
- Back-to-basics rural site in the stunningly scenic Yorkshire Dales
- A 15-minute drive from Hawes and the Wensleydale Creamery
- Dog-friendly spot with firepits, clean toilets and hot showers
Those who believe back-to-basics doesn’t have to mean entirely no frills will feel vindicated at Stablefell Holidays, a family-friendly site 15 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire town of Hawes that marries basic stays with the comfort of cosy facilities.
Deep in Yorkshire Dales National Park, this scenic spot is a fab background for nature-filled stays – it's a wildlife haven, about a mile from Lake Semerwater and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve. The former will keep guests busy with watersports (canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing) while the latter will have guests looking to the skies in the hopes of spotting oystercatchers, snipe and whooper swans.
The site is dog-friendly too (as long as canine chums are kept on-lead), so it’s a good thing that there’s a wealth of lengthy wanders and hikes starting from base, including setting off across fields to the lake, following the River Bain as far as Bainbridge village, and wandering the valleys of Raydale and Wensleydale.
If more of a laidback hol is called for, that’s handily sorted too: the site is car free – wheelbarrows are available for bringing kit and caboodle from car park to pitch – so peace is not easily disturbed. You'll also be free from the sound of pinging gadgets too, as there's no wifi or mobile phone reception at this site (a bonus for many folk seeking a break from the constant communication of modern life…)
Each pitch comes equipped with a firepit for cosy evenings next to an open fire, and the clean facilities and hot showers will ensure guests feel fresh at all times.
Open from 04/08/2022 to 10/08/2022

Local attractions
Start stays with explores of nearby Hawes, a small town 15 minutes’ drive from the site. This is among Yorkshire’s most well-known spots, home not only to the Dales Countryside Museum, but the Wensleydale Creamery as well, where visitors can take part in tours and demonstrations, and catch up on the exploits of the man-and-dog duo that made Wensleydale cheese so famous. Not much into cheese? Sample other flavours at the town’s Raydale Preserves.
For a taste of history, there’s no need to travel all that far either. The site’s just 30 minutes from the 14th-century Bolton Castle and its bird of prey displays, archery demonstrations, wild boar feeding, and castle and garden tours. Slightly further afield are the follies of the Forbidden Corner, the remains of Middleham Castle (Richard III’s childhood home), and the ruined Jervaulx Abbey, all within 40 minutes of base.
To experience the Dales’ natural landscape, spend some time outdoors with pilgrimages to Aysgarth Falls (20 minutes), or dive below the surface at White Scar Cave (40 minutes) – the UK’s longest show cave – and Ingleborough Cave (55 minutes).
Prefer to spend some time away from the countryside instead? It’s 50 minutes from base to the large market town of Richmond and explores of its museums, castle, falls and art gallery.

- Jervaulx Abbey (26.9 kilometres)

Good afternoon,
Thankyou for the great review of our campsite - we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.
We are sorry you noticed the septic tank however sadly when you live in the country and have a countryside campsite septic tanks are the only option.
We don't have the option of mains drainage or gas like in towns, so unfortunately when it rains (like it did heavily Saturday night) on occasion it may be noticable.
